Abstract
An overview is given about semiconductor components in a range up to Vdrm=12 kV and Ip=150 kA, stackable up to more than 50 kV, for repetitive and nonrepetitive applications in pulsed power technologies. This includes also the trigger units, the stack construction as well as an estimation about reliability is presented, based on internal tests and field experience. This presentation gives the user of solid-state components an overview about the existing and newly developed devices which are available today, especially for pulsed power applications.
